Incidence and prevalence were slightly higher than in previous Swedish reports. Allopurinol use among prevalent gout patients did not increase during 2014-2019. Only a minor improvement in persistence was seen, and a moderate increase in compliance with guidelines, suggesting a need for improved management and extended patient involvement to increase and optimize the use of urate lowering therapy.
